“Recalling classic British leather goods, the upper of the Nike Lunar Golf Shoes – Open Championship Limited Edition features tumbled leather with patent-leather accents. Referencing the hand-finished detailing of fine tailoring, the bottom of the eyestay features a double stitch and herringbone tweed at the collar recalls suit material. Likewise, the lining was inspired by polka-dot handkerchiefs.”

Take a look at the photos in the gallery below — I really like the Union Jack design on the insole and how you can see the herringbone pattern through the clear sole material. I would have expected Nike to use a navy color somewhere in the design (as Alan mentioned in his Sneak Peek post), but the more I look at it the more I really like the classy, understated styling of this shoe.

From the photos it looks like the shoe also comes with a limited edition shoe bag that also features the herringbone pattern and custom Open Championship embroidery. Look for this shoe to go on sale at nikestore.com a week from today on Thursday of Open Championship week (Thursday July 14th). Retail price looks to be $190 in the U.S.
